Capricho Mio



Tener un capricho no siempre es algo negativo, a veces un capricho nos puede llevar a conocer nuevas partes o facetas de nosotros/as mismos/as, sino pregúntenle a Maxi, la diseñadora de Mena Swimwear, quién a puro capricho puso de un lado los deadlines y las exigencias de clientas para hacer una colección que fuera el placer de solo ella. El resultado ha sido su colección más íntima y linda hasta ahora.

Con buenísimas telas, los vestidos de baños están llenos de detalles y estampados que no hacen más que halagar el cuerpo de la mujer – tan solo hablemos de esas rallas verticales tricolores.

Si aún no tienes que ponerte para este break de Fiestas Patrias, ésta es mi definitiva recomendación ;)


Impulses are not always bad things. Sometimes they lead us to discover new things about ourselves, just ask Maxi, the designer behind Mena Swimwear, a 100% Panamanian brand whose latest collection was made entirely on Maxi’s whim.

For once, she put aside every deadline and demands from clients to design a collection that would please only her, the result has been her most intimate and pretty collection so far. With great fabrics, all of the swimsuits are full of details, every print flatters the body more than the last one – let’s talk about those vertical tricolored stripes.


If you still haven’t figured out what you’re going to wear these Holidays, well, this is my utter recommendation ;)

Random Encounters / Ivana


Es medio raro decir esto pero: es diciembre y el summer-style season ha oficialmente comenzado. Ayer fue la primera edición de Paseo Urbano (que en realidad no tenía idea qué era pero la pasé super bien) en Casco Viejo y como habitants de Panamá recibimos lo que tanto odiamos pero que en verdad amamos: buco Sol, bastante brisa, cervezas frías y gente cool con un bello atardecer en el fondo.

Como siempre ando echando un ojo a todas las personas y esta vez me llamó mucho la atención Ivana, que con todo y que no la conozco mucho ya se que es una man cool.

Y ya que se acerca el verdadero verano con todos los festivales de música es mejor que vayas viendo qué le hace falta a tu closet porque voy a estar por ahí, con mi cámara, listo para shootear :D


It’ll be kind of weird to say this but: it’s December and summer-style season is officially on! Yesterday I found myself at the first Paseo Urbano, a kind of summer market for fashion brands and foodies, they had good music and cold beers; I had no idea it was happening but I had a good time.

As always I’m roaming the streets with camera in hand ready to stalk people and ask them for a photo, while doing that I found Ivana, a girl that I had met but really hadn’t gotten the chance to get to know, she’s cool.

And with that the music festival season in Panama is starting to look fine, so you better go inside your closet and make a list of the things that are missing because I’m gonna be there, with camera and vodka in my hands, ready to shoot some streetstyle ;)

I'm gonna Dress You Up


Fashion is based in fantasy, in every girl's dream of becoming a princess & stealing Prince Charming's heart dressed in a beautiful robe made by the hands of true geniuses. Is no wonder then, why girls start living those dreams in the early stages of their lives playing with their Barbies, dressing them up, dolling them up & getting them ready for the perfect date with Ken.

Out of all the styles that canonize our rushed society, elegant & original will always perdure with ever lasting astonishment. Capturing the eyes of gazers that will cherish that moment when you walked through the streets in that beautiful blazer. 

And just like that 8-year-old girl that dreamed of being that Barbie, master couturiers have played with the pantomime realness of dressing up (search Viktor & Rolf FW 2010 show if you want to kill your curiosity). But this time it was the turn of a dear friend & local-very-talented designer to play with that fantasy.

Last July Fernanda Quiros presented her first collection to the panamanian market, pleasing most of us with a delightful mix of aboriginal juice with the hard-rock-statically-edge of modern architecture, a fresh melange de trois for fashion lovers in our country.

After 7 months of hard work & great efforts, Pura Jagua (the name of the collection) has been open to sale for the public, offering great clothes for great prices. Fernanda presented her baby at Espacio Vintage, a store that's become an open window for national designers who want to showcase their talent surrounded by great people. 

A collection that evoked the summery days in Panama (just like the one we enjoyed that Sunday morning, paired with the most perfect brunch by Naranja & Limon) will surely make it to a lot of closet of fashion lovers in Panama & why not, around the globe :)
